Hi all,

Check out the comment from Lars on this post:
http://zonker.opensuse.org/2009/03/16/what-belongs-on-announce/

Specifically:

People installing openSUSE for the first time get the “well known
popup” during their first login - OK. We tell people that they should
create an account on opensuse.org to participate in the wiki,
bugzilla, forums, … We invite them to many places of opensuse.org -
and even I didn’t know every subdomain like:

* apparmor.opensuse.org,
* crashdb.opensuse.org or
* lizards.opensuse.org
* …

Looks like openSUSE developers again and again fall into the trap
creating lots of tools and ideas without informing their users about
the great stuff they do. (Sidenote: what about a list of such
subdomains with their background information in the weekly news? ->
Zonker, please drive this ;-)


So - what about it? Should we have a "beginner's section" in every
issue of the weekly news? A boilerplate that can be in every issue,
because every issue is likely to have newer openSUSE users who don't
know their way around yet -- and openSUSE users who have been around
for a while can simply gloss over it.

Best,

Zonker
